Was She Joking??? About Rape?????

Filed under: Barbara Walters > Elisabeth Hasselbeck > Whoopi Goldberg

Awkward!

Sofia Vergara, of ABC's Modern Family appeared on The View yesterday and she made quite an inappropriate joke - about rape!

Whoopi Goldberg's face at the end says it all!

But Whoop, was Sofia talking about "rape" or "rape-rape?"

      That's really messed up! So not funny.



    2. 2

      Rape jokes are not funny. The awkward laughs of the View ladies was hella funny though.



    3. 3

      this is nasty, everyone laughs at it too. the only sane one is whoopie

      She seems like a vain airhead. What an idiot!

      Rape does not always mean sex abuse

      1. Rape can mean:
      The crime of forcing another person to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse.

      2. Rape can mean:
      The act of seizing and carrying off by force; abduction.

      3. Rape can mean:
      Abusive or improper treatment; violation: a rape of justice

      She was talking about #3.

      It's funny how uneducated people are.



    6. 6

      What's better than you frequently reporting stories a day or more after everyone else on the internet nowadays? When you use THE EXACT SAME JOKE that everyone else has already used.



    7. 7

      what. Makes no sense. Was she saying she had the son when she was like 13, and she was raped? As a joke?? What???? What??? Why would you ever say that?

    8. tamar says – reply to this

      WTF? How is that even funny?



    9. 9

      Oh no she didn't!
      Oh dear… that was a bad joke.



    10. 10

      Lighten up, she was just joking. Rape is no big deal in South America, its like stealing a kiss.



    11. 11

      There is NEVER a time to joke about RAPE. The View is fucking bullshit anyway. BOOOOOOO



    12. 12

      weiiiiiiirdo :| :|



    13. 13

      I saw this yesterday and when she said that it left everybody uncomfortable. Rape is not something you should joke about because it happens to someone everyday. I don't think she was thinking about what was coming out of her mouth, but I'm not going to give her a free cookie for it. She use to be a journalist so she should know better than to spew shit like this.



    14. 14

      that's hilarious. so what if she got raped. she's obviously ok with it!!



    15. 15

      what exactly is the deference between rape an "rape-rape" perez?



    16. 16

      Re: PhillipP – uuuummmm… yeah, really funny, haha. hey, yesterday i raped the kid next door. oh how we laughed! are you insane?!?
      .
      well. was she raped? maybe it wasn't a joke.
      .
      i doubt she meant "the other" rape. jeez!



    17. 17

      In the latino words it's funny but not good if translate in English, I am sure she did not mean that way @ it sound.



    18. 18

      It was a joke, a bad joke at that. She had her kid when she was twenty with her husband.



    19. 19

      Whoopi did make the rape or rape rape statement. other than that….Sofia had a baby at that age? Why was there laughter when she said that she was raped? Most people would immediately try to sooth her and show concern for what she said. Laughter? They should have let her explain what she had meant first.



    20. 20

      she is a classless, moronic egomaniac. I was watching this yesterday and could not believe my ears. So inappropriate. Someone please rape her and let her keep joking about rape. Twat.



    21. 21

      DUDE. PEREZ….whats with the Scientology ad that precluded this clip?????????????????????????????????????



    22. 22

      LOL that was the most random thing, "hahaha I was raped" ……



    23. 23

      OMG hilarious. Not.



    24. 24

      Re: alemeh2 – that is a better way to explain it, i guess?



    25. 25

      OMG that was hilarious….NOT!!! What an idiot.



    26. 26

      I don't think she was joking, I think she was being inappropriately serious. People have different ways of dealing with the horrible things that have happened to them. I guess her way is to laugh it off like it's no big deal. Also, rape is viewed different in different parts of the world from culture to culture. I think she was trying to make everyone aware that she wasn't sexually promiscuous at age 13. She just did it in an awkward manner.



    27. 27

      I saw that yesterday and it was very uncomfortable when she said that…I couldn't believe those words had just come out of her mouth!



    28. 28

      Re: Kamilalil – Kamilalil if you think that airhead of a woman actually meant "Abusive or improper treatment; violation: a rape of justice" you need to get your head checked. Somebody that "educated" would recognize that the "average simpleton" of society would not take it that way and would never use that word on live tv.



    29. 29

      she made a stupid joke.. because she's stupid and egotistical. yes we know it was only a joke, but that was tasteless..or just plain ignorant.

      and no she wasn't raped. they were talking about the fact that she has a grown son and that people can tell her age from that, so she tried to make a joke saying she had him at 13… due to be raped.
      sorry, but on tv, you just can't joke about something like that.
      those ladies should have said something when she made that comment, but they just sat there…unreal.



    30. 30

      lmao im guessing she means statutory rape…



    31. 31

      gave it a second view and she seems to be joking about her age….that she had her 18 year old at 13 rather than 20. I agree that in the U.S. the rape joke doesn't translate as well.



    32. 32

      Re: PhillipP – lets throw you in the same cell with bubba and see if you still say its no big deal, fucking moron



    33. 33

      U people are so uptight and sensitive. It was just a freaking joke.

    34. Niobe says – reply to this


      34

      So now we're bitting from other sites, a day late, down to the joke…..Michael K would not approve.

    35. Theo says – reply to this


      35

      yeah, I think that she is trying to say she was under age, which would constitute stat. rape…but not funny…..



    36. 36

      Yeah cause rape is SO funny.

      WHAT?



    37. 37

      Here is a more interesting tidbit….her bio states that she is a natural blonde.



    38. 38

      It was a bad joke. I'm sure whoever this girl is realized her f-up immediately and regretted it. Not a big deal.

      Anyway, this was on thirtymilezone yesterday in the early afternoon. Timely reporting, Perez!



    39. 39

      Any woman who can joke about rape is ignorant as hell and has never had the "pleasure" of "enjoying" being raped. It is a horrible experience that no-one should ever have to endure. The humiliation remains with you for life. I do not walk around in fear that my rapist of twelve years ago is going to jump out of the shadows, but I still sleep on the couch because I am not comfortable sleeping in a bed. For the first year afterward I had multiple panic attacks on a daily basis and woke up with scratches all over my face and arms because I was fighting him off in my sleep. It is a nightmare and I wish I had never had the displeasure of hearing about Sofia Veraga.



    40. 40

      Re: JigSaw – Amen to that. Let's see how he feels when Bubba has him bend over to pick up the cake of soap. What a jerk for saying such a stupid thing.



    41. 41

      Well I think she is referring to what the U.S would call it when you're 13 and already having sex. Her husband was probably 16-18 years old. Even if she was a willing participent it is STATUTORY RAPE!!!



    42. 42

      Perez, copy pasting stuff from Michael K again huh?



    43. 43

      Re: Kamilalil – …well said. 'Rape' is about power and is not always used in a sexual context.



    44. 44

      Hmmm strange joke



    45. 45

      Re: JigSaw – haha, exactly!



    46. 46

      lighten up on her, true rape is not something to joke about…ever, but english isnt her first language, sometimes things just dont translate as well… she probabl doesn't understand the severity of the term.



    47. 47

      She definitely should not have said that BUT I'm thinking.. maybe she knows what statuatory rape is and was making a joke about that? I have no idea. Either way, it sounds wrong.



    48. 48

      She was just trying to make a joke out of the fact that she had to lie about her age, and that she'd go to any crazy extreme to lie about how old she was when her 18 year old son was born. And it sounds like maybe English isn't her first language so it was a bit of a verbal misstep, but lighten up everyone. If a bunch of politically correct women can laugh about it, maybe you can too. I laughed!



    49. 49

      Oh please. Lighten up. She said age 13, this is by definition statutory rape, even in Tennessee! Must we always look to judge in the worst possible light? I just hate the PC police!



    50. 50

      She was just joking and bullshiting just like when your sitting around with your friends. Chill everyone aye ya aye!



    51. 51

      right on top of the news pumkinhead, this was on every site yesterday



    52. 52

      OK this blog used to be original and funny, but it's really not anymore when every joke you use, you copy from Michael K.



    53. 53

      Yeah , I saw this yesterday morning. It was pretty cringe-enducing. I could not believe she said that lol



    54. 54

      Re: PhillipP – you're a sicko



    55. 55

      She had to be nineteen or twenty when her son was born. Bad joke, but a joke nonetheless.



    56. 56

      oh come on Perez!
      .
      you are not only stealing stories from others, you are also using their words!
      .
      Can´t believe you got to that low!
      .
      Google "best gossip blog 2008"



    57. 57

      that is seriously in BAD TASTE!



    58. 58

      Re: Britt9312 – damn yes!



    59. 59

      I think it's more a language barrier issue. In spanish rape is "violar". "Violar" also means to violate. I think she just used the wrong word or translation.



    60. 60

      Re: karencarpenter –
      …except in this case where it WAS about sex.

      AWFUL joke. I get that sometimes everyone slips up with a comment that's incredibly unfunny, but this is just bad.



    61. 61

      Tact… some people just don't get it. Rape isn't funny. You'd really think that goes without saying.



    62. 62

      i dont like her shes so dumb and thinks shes a really good actress when she really hasnt done anything.



    63. 63

      wow very bad joke. It is not funny at all.

      Re: cheesemeister – Get over it. You probably still fantasize about your rape dumb bitch



    65. 65

      Re: alemeh2 – mh no you're wrong we latinos dont joke about rape and no its not funny.



    66. 66

      That was actually really funny. Rape is never funny, but come on! She's Latina, we have different sense of humor! The View ladies are like "Whoa!" LOL.



    67. 67

      perez, you (or whoever is writing for your site these days) are officially copying michael k. pathetic as usual.



    68. 68

      perez, you are officially ripping off m!chael k. pathetic as usual.



    69. 69

      Really bad attempt at a joke.
      I'll bet Sofia doesn't say that again.. let's hope not anyway.



    70. 70

      Re: Kamilalil – maybe, but I think she should watch her word choice.. It's not hard to offend.



    71. 71

      Re: PhillipP –

      why would you say that? you are a shameful human.



    72. 72

      thank you PH!! I lost all respect for Whoopi after her "rape-rape" comment. IF she had any idea of what SOOOOO many girls and women face in this world after a rape. It is crushing in so many ways and never leaves a woman. Maybe she is not sensitive to it b/c she's a les? (trying to understand what part of a woman's brain would excuse a man doing that to a 13 yr old).



    73. 73

      It's a joke. Offensive?? YES! But I don't think she meant she was actually raped.



    74. 74

      Re: Kamilalil – rape is rape. are you fucking kidding me? Asshole



    75. 75

      Old news, good job, P.



    76. 76

      i admit i love to make innapropriate jokes and offend people, but that isnt even funny. i dont mean "that isnt funny", as in, "thats offensive therefore not funny"… i mean it just isnt funny. HUMOR FAIL!

      Re: ONIKANOVALI – I totally agree with you. It was her way of dealing with a painful question on TV. Also, I know many people from S America,and there is nothing culturally acceptable about rape there. Rape is rape (not rape-rape) - a repulsive violation anywhere in the world, even if the woman reacts funny publicly. In some muslim countries they are stoned to death because it's "their" fault. It's still a violent crime,regardless of the neanderthal laws of those disgusting countries.



    78. 78

      wow shameless plagarism perez!! MK wrote those words yesterday….



    79. 79

      She doesn't speak fluent english, she shouldn't translate that joke.
      I think she tried to say that she wasn't thinking when she was having unprotected sex as a tennager. That's the point of that phrase or joke.
      Of course for americans is a big deal, but I don't think she was taking raping lightly.



    80. 80

      Re: Kamilalil – Well La Di Fucking Da… congrats on going to dictionary.com



    81. 81

      People - don't take it literal.
      Me violaron (in spanish) - meaning - I got FUCKED. thats all she's saying since she did have her son at a young age.



    82. 82

      SHE WAS JOKING. she really had her son at 19 with her husband. It was a terrible joke in poor taste.



    83. 83

      Please, Whoopi needs to get off of her high horse. It wasn't a month ago that she was supporting child rapist, Roman Polanski! Guess with Whoopi, rape can only be taken lightly if it is done by hollywood big wigs. She's a hypocrite.



    84. 84

      Re: Kamilalil – Are you fucking kidding? You really think this waterhead had that definition in mind when she said it?! You're a moron!!



    85. 85

      Wow, I'm hoping that was due to some kind of language barrier or something. Totally inappropriate and NOT funny.



    86. 86

      Not funny at all… She should be ashamed of herself… Don't these people understand that being in the public eye, you have people WATCHING YOU? There are fragile young minds out there, that are going through things like molestation and rape, and to hear somone they look up to joke about pushes them further into denial, and to holding the secret, instead of speaking out and getting help. SHAME SHAME SHAME on her



    87. 87

      That was one strange comment and reaction by the view ladies. No one questioned her! But it was funny anyway. What really bothers me is that you report everything a day or two after everyone else.

      88

      if a man had made a joke about rape there would have been 20000 feminists picketing abc…double standards ladies. where was the savior of the world elizabeth on all this? did she miss it?



    89. 89

      Re: ONIKANOVALI – Wow you're a fucking idiot if you think she's serious! She was joking that she couldn't possibly have an 18 year old son because she wants people to think she's younger than she really is! She's joking that she was only 13 when she got preggo which would make her only 31 years old today instead of 38 years old (which she actually is)! You're a moron! I think YOU need to be ass-raped!!



    90. 90

      IT WAS A JOKE!! She was being obviously ridiculous!! She's so beautiful she can get away with ANYTHING!! And I'm not even str8



    91. 91

      It's a cultural thing. I've heard that joke before in Spanish. Yes, it's wrong but in Latin cultures they don't see it as such. She was clearly lying about her age as a joke, she added that as a punch line and it worked for most people. Lighten up people.



    92. 92

      Whoopi's face was priceless..it was like, "what the f— did she JUST say?"



    93. 93

      awkward.



    94. 94

      Classy real classy. Idiot.



    95. 95

      Wow. That's just horrible.



    96. 96

      Re: Kamilalil –
      k-Your're retarded. Did you not watch the clip? No they were not talking about injustice. They were talking about her being with an older man at the age of 13, right before Barbara asked her about her own teenage son. I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she meant robbed…….as in robbing the cradle.



    97. 97

      To Kamilalil, it is obvious by the way she said "I was raped" that she didn't mean she was raped of her justice. The fact that it was so open-ended and she sort of trailed off implies she was trying to make a joke of something that isn't funny. Well, that is my opinion anyways. Maybe I'm wrong.

      Regardless, that was just embarrassing.



    98. 98

      Re: jojoroy – this wasnt perez being insightful… he stole this post from Michael K's site yesterday.. he said the same thing… Perez is so un-original…



    99. 99

      AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA WHOOPIE!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
      yea love sofia but wtf rape no es comico chica



    100. 100
